haha i can assure you there is little to no logic applied to pfork's numerical ratings

this mix is super-awesome btw.

there was a screwed & chopped version of <i>boy in da corner</i> making the usual slsk rounds. it was uh interesting.

there's most certainly a metrosexual strain that runs through current hip-hop. without a doubt. when you've got guys in articles telling you to rotate your choice of kicks daily and clean that shit with a toothbrush (!), there's some serious attention to detail going on there. plus with the...

well it's not a hard and fast rule: the reason i love "gotta have it" is the drums, first and foremost.

tek tonic, i feel the exact same way about almost all non-southern mainstream rap these days. i think it's how they EQ it. (plus everyone has prissy, flaccid drums these days.) re. last track...haha well, cam'ron does love his MOR.

can't get with the album as a whole (i think my tolerance for r&b bullshit on rap records is at an all time low), but "gotta have it" is easily my second or third favorite "single" of the year. and peedi crakk's got one of those amazing voices that just defies all attempts at transliteration.

one of the highlights of my life is when i catch my mom singing the chorus to a popular rap song of the moment. the classic will always be dmx's "party up".

she was also hugely into disco, though not, she is often at pains to stress, the "bubblegum shit".

the quick answer is "black american music between 1960-1986". she kinda lost her way with modern music after rap began dismantling rnb, but she likes some rap and some of the more neo-soul-y current rnb.

the gang of four are actually not a favorite band! (so i'm not 100% sure why i even care, except that they get a lifetime pass for the guitar on "anthrax" alone.) i totally wore them out through overplay during my college years. (plus they've dated for me in a way that, say, the fall hasn't.)...

well, i like the police too, so whadda i know

actually, i'm not particularly ready to discount the lyrics argument, though they certainly had their moments. but "stiff and soul-less" seem like funny adjectives to throw at a band whose entire shtick was to reveal the automoton nature of modern lurve. plus they have one of the greatest...

sorry, no. thanks for playing though. we have some lovely parting gifts for you.

empire's early breakbeat singles are just amazing. "hetzjagd auf nazis" fits nicely on a mix cd between entombed and nasenbluten.

the "give up" ep on ambush was fabbo. i need to find my <i>mash the place up</i> cd

though if i took an informal poll of black folks in my building, i doubt they've heard of murs either

well that seems to be dude's main concern

the simple fact is that the majority of white listeners are going to be buying the game or even a b-lister like c-murder before they buy el-p or aesop rock.
